​Federal and state law prohibit gender discrimination in employment. Sex or gender discrimination occurs when an employer fires, demotes, fails to hire, or fails to promote an employee because of his or her gender. While gender discrimination typically occurs against women, it is also illegal to discriminate against a man because of his gender.

In addition to discrimination in hiring and firing, pay discrimination on the basis of gender is also illegal. Our Equal Pay attorneys can help you if you are being paid less than someone of the opposite sex for equal work.

Attorney Christine T. Elzer has extensive experience representing women, and some men, in gender discrimination cases. If you believe you lost a job or a promotion because of your sex, please contact a Pittsburgh gender discrimination lawyer at Elzer Law Firm, LLC for a free consultation. ​
